OFFICIAL - The tomatoes aren't that great!

Pre-Italy road trip anyone I spoke to would go on about this, that and the other being so much better in Italy; tomatoes, ice cream, coffee you name it, it was better here in Italy. Five days in I'm confident that this is not the case, perhaps some of us just buy the wrong products back home?

I have noted, though, at least fifteen different brands of Italian bicycle and I'm sure there are plenty more, though still about the same number of cyclists, maybe, even less than the UK. Is this evidence on the crippling regulations and taxes on small businesses in the UK I wonder?

Ciao

Stuff I'm doing right now...

Currently I've found Drupal - http://www.drupal.org - with this in the last few weeks I've built this site, the Herts Fixed Gear site, and The Huge Batsman. I've hosted them through Nethosted who are awesome and can be found here - http://www.nethosted.com - Drupal allows you to take their template, apply a theme and tweak the CSS of the theme and add and control modules that are appropriate to the site you're building, I have to admit I feel like a complete charlatan but hey.

Not my first blog

This isn't my first blog but it is my first blog with Drupal implemented on my home page and this will be here until I import my wordpress onto here

Boris you schlep! - Picking on Boris ('cause it's easy)

This article on the Evening Standard website
I'm not entirely sure how Boris finds time to write these articles, I thought being Mayor of London was a full-time job!?

Is Boris talent? Or did he go to the right school?

The story in the Standard


There are plenty of people who will take those positions and can do them successfully regardless of the Tax implications because of the preference for this country and it's capital. We need to drive out the greed and this measure will help ensure that.
